dynamodb-writer

Write items to DynamoDB in batches

save()

Save an item to internal queue. On 25th item (DynamoDB maximum), it will automatically call flush().

Important: A current limitation is that you cannot make successive calls to save() without waiting for callback first from each previous call to save().

flush()

This will be called internally by save() once internal queue is full. You should call this once after all save() calls are complete, to ensure internal queue is emptied.

Example

const async = require('async')
const {DynamoDB} = require('aws-sdk')
const DynamoDbWriter = require('dynamodb-writer')

const dynamodb = new DynamoDB({
  apiVersion: '2012-08-10'
})
const writer = DynamoDbWriter.create(dynamodb, {table: 'my-table'})
const items = []
async.eachSeries(items, (item, cb) => {
  // Important: You must wait for callback to be called
  // before calling `save()` again
  writer.save(item, cb)
}, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    return console.error('Failed to save items')
  }
  writer.flush((err) => {
    if (err) {
      return console.error('Failed to flush items')
    }
  })
})
